CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is close at hand, and by
universal expectation every family cal
culates at least on the ordinary COM
forts of life on that day. Many whose
living is far from sumptuous, but
scanty, hopeto enjoy something little
extra. Clergymen, Protestant and
Catholic, have an excellent opportunity
to speak kind word in behalf of the
poor and needy. Remembering the
poor with kindly gifts is practical
duty of christianity, more acceptable
to the Deity than doctrinai discourses
on speculative theories Of belief. A
pathetic prayer does not relieve the
wants of a destitute family, unless it
moves to action. Be ye warmed and
be ye fed" in words alone, relieves no
one in want. Whether there are many
suffering poor in the city is not under
stood, but if there are such there will
be an excellent opportunity for exem-
plifying christian work.

THE WOOL INTEREST,"

The wool interest in the United
States amounts to many millions.
That interest in this state is not near
as large as in many other states in the
Union, but it is too large to be sacri-
feed without the loss being sensibly
felt by the farmers engaged in wool
growing for the market. So far as the
Presidents message can b We influence
in removing the protective tariff on
foreign wool, it will be for taking it
off. The loss to wool growers will be
disastrous in Texas, where one of the
chief industries is wool That state
has more than usual adoption to the
raising of sheep. The farmers of
Missouri, Ohio. Illinois, Indiana, and
the eastern states, to considerable ex-
tent. would be sufferers. Taking into
account the county of Kenosha. which
is comparatively bua small item, the
of pounds of wool purchased
here yearly realizes quite handsome
sum Of money. One of our newspaper
exchanges argues it would be advan-
tageous for farmers to sell their sheep
and purchase foreign WOODEN goods if
the wool tariff was removed, the for
eign woolens being afforded so much
cheaper. Silly people are not all dead
yet. We trust the intelligence of the
American people is not ready to strike
down SO important home interest to
satisfy Mr.. Cleveland.

FOREFATHERS' DAY.

Notwithstanding the rain storm on
Tuesday evening last, respectable
number of persons gathered in the
parlors of the Congregational church,
under the auspices of the Young Peo-
ple's Society of Christian Endeavor, to
common crate Forefathers' Day. A
New England supper was served of
bread, beans, coffee, pumpkin pie,
doughnuts, apple sauce and other old
time delicacies. The evening enter
tainment consisted of reading the
history Of Plymouth, by Miss MARITIME.
Also reading of selections from the
courtship of Miles Standish, by Mrs.
II. Van Wyck. These exercises were
followed with song from Miss Alice
Bray and by variety of interesting
tableaux, illustrative of the historic
events in the times commemcrated
The old style New England costume
in which the young women appeared +,
was highly suggestive of times long
gone by, and contributed much to the
attractiveness of the evenings enter
tainment. The receipts of the evenin g
were satisfactory, and applied to the
purchase of a piano for the Christian
Endeavor Society.

c. A. The space appropriated for the
reading room is too limited; it can
accommodate but few at time. A
large ball for public meetings would
greatly add to the advantages it
should be of sufficient size to accommo-

asking the use of the churches. This
is pressing necessity and matter
for future consideration. One of the
more immediate wants in the rooms is
more chairs.

NATIONAL CONVENTION OF
REPUBLICAN CLUBS.

A convention under the above name
assembled in New York city on the
18th of December, inst, composed of
delegates from Republican clubs in all
parts of the Union. The convention
was especially noticeable for the large
number in attendance, and the many
distinguished men present, including
prominent Senators and members of
the House Of Representatives. The
convention disclaims any intention to
bring forward any particular candidate
for President, or interfering with the
nomination for that Office. 1t proposes
to 60 out for some principle beyond
the mere individual, and work for the
greatest good to the greatest number,
without seeking to advance the inter-
ests OF any particular man. The Presi-
dent of the New York Republican club
welcomed the delegates, and gave an
outline of its objects and aims. Among
other purposes, he made the following
bold declaration:

DAKOTA.

Dakota has sufficient territory and
population to entitle it to become two
states, but Congress will not consent
to have two states made out Of Dakota,
however just it might be. The dread
Of increase of Republican power in the
Northwest by the present majority in
the House of Representatives in
Washington will not consent to more
than one new state in that quarter.
The people of Dakota therefore met
by representatives in convention at
Aberdeen ON Thursday last, and re-
solved to make application to Congress
for but one state. The convention
was largely attended, and steps were
taken to make vigorous attempt to
secure their right for state independ.

CONGRESS OF NATIONS.

The prospect for a congress of
nations to settle all national disputes,
Washington reports say, has better
prospect of icing provided for at this
session than it has had at any previous
one. Senator Frye introduced a bill
last year for inviting all the ma
tons on the continent of North
America to a convention in Washing.

ferences between nations. The bill
passed the Senate. 1t is expected

session. Nothing can be more reason

SALEM

Last Friday evening, J. H. Bovker,
OF Madison, gave an interesting lecture
on Prohibition to a small audience in
the Congregational church, and an
other on Sunday evening on the same
subject. The latter was we'll attended.
We understand that he will organize
Prohibition club here in the near
future.
The Literary Society met as usual
on Thursday evening. The attendance
was large, and seats were provided for
all. The program was good, what
there was of it. The instrumental
music by Miss Maud Munson was
highly appreciated by all. The decla-
nation by Justin Orvis was very
funny.
The quartette by the Misses Pal
matter and Grant and Messrs. Grant
and Munson was splendid. Why don't
we hear from them oftener?
Mrs. Edith Munson read a poem en-
titled, N, Sect in Heaven" which
was very good.
Misses Ruth Van VIE, Clara Mel
ebert and Carrie Booth sang a piece
called, "Out West" and it was well
sung.
There was no regular debate, which
was very much regretted by most of
the audience. In its place was an in
formal discussion, ON the following
question: " ResoDed, That circum-
stances do more to shape mans
course in life than his own personal
endeavor." DR.. Ray Thayer took the
negative, as he said, "just for fun"
and he was badly beaten. Personal
endeavor" availed him nothing; "cir-
cumstances" were against him. He
was assisted by B. 0. Drom. G.. w.
Blanchard, G. B. Browne and J. M.
Orvis supported the affirmative.
1t was then decided that the Society
spell down, which they did. w. v.
Gull proved himself the best speller.
1t is the writer's opinion that these
debates should be kept up. as it makes
the program too short without them,
and, SO far, they have been very in
teresting.
Among the audience was Supt. Mid
dlecamp.
Mrs. Browne entertained the Ladies'
Aid Society of the Congregational
